The purpose of this 1.5 day course is to (1) educate healthcare providers on the broad spectrum of pediatric and adult SMA, the natural history of disease, recent updates to standards of care, standardized clinical outcome measures and the implications of approved and investigational therapies; and (2) to prepare clinicians, outside of specialized SMA centers, to manage rehabilitation care and administer and monitor progress using standardized SMA clinical assessments.

The Physical Therapy Program is approved by the New York State Department of Education Office of the Professions as a sponsor of continuing education for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
